If Michigan football wants to make the College Football Playoff this season, it will have to win a big game or two on the road. Saturday, in Lincoln, Nebraska, will be the next opportunity.
I've said all along that if the Wolverines can run the table at home and win one of their three most difficult road games: Oklahoma, Nebraska, or USC, that they would make the playoff, assuming they win the other three road games, which aren't easy.
No Big Ten game is easy. But this Nebraska game offers some unique challenges.
